Consumption values were measured in normalized conditions in compliance with Standard IEC/EN 60 456. Consumption data in the home may vary with respect to

the values in the table in relation to the water supply pressure and temperature, the load and the type of wash. Water and energy consumption refer to the default

setting of the programmes, with temperature and load as indicated in the table; selecting any options or changing the spin speed will also change the consumption

data.

The programme duration may di er from the values indicated above as it depends on the operation conditions applicable at that time (see also

“Troubleshooting Guide” in your Instructions for Use).

* Reference programmes for Energy Label.

** To reduce the water temperature, some cold water is added at the end of the main wash cycle before the water is drained.

*** Automatic adaptation of programme duration after detection of wash load.
